    Here is an example of Garmin and stats that a super accurate with
    respect to distance and average speed. It is also accurate to maximum
    speed within .1 or .2 mph. Notice I went 43 miles and used up 681
    calories with total for ride 935. I would say pretty close. I do not
    have a power meter on the Catrike so nothing about power is recorded and
    it does go to Strava. Strava's power is worthless based on assumptions
    you need a PM to get it correct. My max HR is only 132 with 96 average.
    That is low but my resting HR is around 42 and on the Trike recumbent
    the heart is at same level as legs so no need to work as hard to return
    blood to heart. On my indoor regular bike it runs about 10 bpm higher.
